One Piece: The Human-Human Fruit, it makes sense to be an admiral

"I might as well crush your head and let your Major General cry while holding your corpse."

After seeing Nami clearly, Badgers became even angrier.

……

Tiqi looked at Ian's subordinates who appeared one after another and slapped his head helplessly.

"Oh my, this is troublesome. It seems there is no room for negotiation."

"Major General Ian, your people took the initiative to deliver this to our door."

"My crew members are not as easy to talk to as I am."

"They are all a bunch of... vicious and bloodthirsty maniacs!"

"Your weak cadres are no match for them."

"And you don't have a chance to help them."

"Jie ha ha ha..."

Seeing the breakdown of the negotiations, Teach's vicious nature was completely exposed and he laughed wildly.

In his opinion, it would be best if he could just say a few soft words and leave the island safely.

Since Ian wants to cause trouble, then... just kill him!

Before arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago.

Blackbeard and his gang had read the relevant reports in the newspaper.

News involving [Aquaman Jock Ian] will also briefly describe the cadres around him.

The two highest-ranking officers were only at the rank of naval colonel.

Compared with the crew members that Teach found, their strength is far inferior.

"Hahaha, you're stopping pretending so soon?"

"I thought you were going to keep begging me for mercy and keep putting on a show."

"Unfortunately, this fight won't last long, and none of you will be able to get out."

"If you take the Dark-Dark Fruit and bypass the Sabaody Archipelago, maybe you can actually make it out."

"Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity..."

Ian said with a sneer, murderous intent in his eyes.

Exposing Teach's trump card at this time is deliberately irritating his nerves.

"You...you guy..."

"How do you know?"

Tiqi's pupils constricted and the smile froze on his face.

How did the navy kid in front of me get the information?

Taking ten thousand steps back...

Even though I knew he killed Captain Whitebeard and stole his partner's devil fruit.

How did he know accurately that the fruit he ate was the Dark-Dark Fruit?

It’s unreasonable...too unreasonable!

And something even more bizarre and unreasonable is happening to Teach's crew!

……

Time goes back to the night after Jack was killed.

Ian summoned four cadres late at night and came to the training ground.

The training ground was quiet and empty at this time.

The Marines on duty were evacuated by Ian in advance, and there were only five of them at the scene.

"How was it fighting the Beasts yesterday?"

Ian stood in front of the four people and asked them about their feelings about fighting with the young cadres of the Beast Group.

Peacock: "The power of artificial devil fruits is far inferior to that of real ability users. However, their proficiency in using Haki has caused considerable trouble."

T. Peng En: "The artificial ability user has good resistance to attacks. If the domineering aura is stronger, it will be more difficult to deal with."

Skylark: "The opponent was stronger than I thought. I had to use my secret weapon, and finally I was able to successfully resolve the situation. It's worth reflecting on."

Nami: "She moved very fast. At first I thought... I couldn't handle it, so I ran for a long time."

The four of them shared their battle experiences together.

It was indeed a great victory, but it was definitely not as easy as it appeared.

"Well said, the opponent is not very weak. This is not even the core cadre of the Beast Group."

"In the New World, there are countless pirates of similar strength."

"Let's change the question. What if the King of Beasts, Kaido, came today and brought with him several core cadres like Jack the Drought?"

"With your strength, can you stop the ancient drought disaster Jack?"

Ian was simply asking.

When this question was asked, everyone already had the answer in their hearts.

Everyone lowered their heads with serious expressions and chose to remain silent.

Even a strong man like Major General Ian fought against Drought Jack for such a long time.

For them, even holding on for a few minutes may be a difficult test, let alone winning.

"It seems everyone has a clear understanding of themselves, so next..."

Peacock: "Practice hard!"

T Peng En: "Practice harder!"

Skylark: "Train hard!"

Nami: "Increase your combat power!"

Before Ian could continue speaking, the four of them expressed their determination.

Face the gap and don’t complain about your own weakness.

Have a positive attitude and don’t be afraid of hard work.

In these four people, Ian saw the qualities necessary to become a strong man.

Perhaps, they are still teammates who are not very strong now.

But Ian believes that one day they will be able to exceed their limits.

Besides...development games are much more interesting than high-level characters!

It's entirely up to Ian to decide the direction in which he wants to cultivate and what shape he wants to develop!

"Everyone, you may encounter powerful enemies on the island in the future, opponents that you are unable to defeat."

"During the time we've been together, we've done good things that violated the rules and upheld our duty to uphold justice..."

"In the blink of an eye, we've been through so much together."

"I... really consider you my partners."

"I don't want to see anything happen to any of you."

"So what I want to tell you is..."

"I am the awakened one of the Animal-type Human-Human Fruit!"

Peacock:"!!!"

T Peng En: “!!!”

lark:"!!!"

Nami: "???"

The three people who originally worked at the headquarters naturally knew what Ian meant by "Awakener".

Those who awaken the fruit will have a qualitative leap in their abilities.

Ian is an animal-type devil fruit user, and his combat power will be greatly improved after awakening.

At the same time, he possesses a terrifying vitality that allows him to stand up again and fight again no matter how many times he is knocked down.

This also explains everyone's doubts about why Ian, at such a young age, was able to defeat such a powerful enemy like Jack the Drought.

Compared to the Superman and Nature awakenings, the Animal awakening carries a greater risk...

Peacock's eyes were burning, and he couldn't help but step forward and ask:

"Major General Ian, I once heard my grandmother say that."

"There's a 50% chance of failure in animal awakenings. The loser will be controlled by the demon that inhabits the fruit."

"You are the Human-Human Fruit, so now... are you still yourself?"

Peacock's speech sounds a bit brain-burning and needs careful consideration.

But these words hit Ian's heart.

When he first woke up, Ian felt nothing.

Since coming to the headquarters, Ian would occasionally think.

Is his "personality" changing subtly as he awakens to the Human Fruit?

A particularly obvious realization was at Shaqi's rip-off bar!

When faced with Xia Qi's nonchalant treatment of the killing of ordinary people as a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

Ian's heart seemed to be aroused by some kind of emotion, and he could hardly control his desire to refute.

After calming down, he thought about it...
